PlayStation 4 will go on sale in China after Sony signed a deal to manufacture the console there.

China banned games consoles in 2000, but in January the government said it would allow foreign firms to manufacture and sell consoles again.

There are thought to be 500 million gamers in China and most of them play on the PC.

Gaming rival Microsoft has already announced plans to sell Xbox One in China from September.
